The purpose of this tutorial is to show the fundamentals of editing the properties of four
elements: Motor, Cable, Transformer, and Lumped Load. For this tutorial you should select
“Example Project (ANSI)” option when starting ETAP 5.5.5 Demo.
Motor Properties
Open the editor for Mtr2 by double-clicking on the element or right-clicking on the
element and selecting Properties. Doing so will open the property editor for Mtr2 as
shown below.
☺Helpful Tips…
You can navigate to
other motor editors by
using the navigation
tools provided at the
bottom of the editor.
When the editor opens you are taken to the Info page. In this page you can select to put
the motor in service or out of service, edit the ID of the motor (must be unique), the bus it
is connected to, and enter the equipment information. You can also specify the
connection type and quantity of motors in the connection section of the page.
☺Helpful Tips…
You can change the name of
the loading categories by
going to Project Settings
Loading Categories.
Once you are finished making changes in the Mtr2 editor, click OK to exit the editor and
save the changes.
Instead of entering the properties of the cable in the editor manually, you can select a
cable from our library to automatically fill in the required information. To select a cable
from the library click on the Library button located on the Info page. A new editor will
open called Library Quick Pick – Cable where you can select the cable you want to use.
Once you select the cable, click OK to close the library editor and transfer the cable
properties to the editor.
Transformer Properties
Open the editor for T2 and go to the Rating page. On the rating page you can enter the
value of the primary kV, secondary kV, primary winding rating in kVA or MVA, and the
maximum transformer rating. Additionally, you can enter the impedance or substitute
typical values for the transformer.
